Be glad to - just as soon as the seizure his shirt has induced passes.

Albert was a great guy. He'd give you the hair off his back.

That's such crap. If it's worth a suspension, then punish him now. The offense was committed during a World Series game - the punishment should be, too.

Wait, is Blossom a WWE fan too?

Also, we all assumed he'd need a wheelchair by now, so a cane isn't that bad in comparison.

Would YOU want to be the government entity trying to tell Scott Steiner he can't sell alcohol?

Shut the fuck up, Doug.

And then in the comments, Rusev replies "Double it then."

Oddly enough, the mid-carders and guys that missed and missed again are likely much better teachers than the superstars like Shawn Michaels. Look at baseball, how many great hitters and pitchers became great coaches? Very, very few. Your great coaches were guys like Walt Hriniak who had to work his ass off just to keep a job, whereas someone like Ted Williams or Rogers Hornsby (arguably two of the greatest hitters who ever lived), were incapable of teaching what they did. When you're doing something at an almost superhuman level, (say it with me!) "You Can't Teach That!". I'd be willing to bet that Norman Smiley and Matt Bloom are light-years ahead of Shawn Michaels as teachers. Nia Jax needed (and deserved) a LOT more training in NXT. Working as a monster is way, way harder than one would think. You're always going to be scared to death of hurting someone and building the skill and confidence to keep that fear in check is not an easy thing by any means. For large size folk, Braun "got it" faster than anyone else I've ever seen. From day one the only knock on him was that he looked like he was nice as pie. I couldn't buy him as a monster when he looked like the neighbor who shovels snow out of everyone's driveway and plays Santa for the kids at the community center. Some minor tweaks to his appearance fixed that and he grasped the concept of "less is more" far faster than most. Hell, guys that have been around twice as long are still trying to figure out the balance and he's already got it down cold. He's only 34, so we may be watching someone who will turn out to be pretty special.

Best feud in the fed

Kind of bummed that Oney and Burch dropped a fall to Tino and Moss. Ladies' battle royal was fun if only for the Billie/Bianca hair spots: And Billie paid the price for doing that.

Fuck Ken Giles.

Gurriel gets five games... next season. What a shitty compromise.

Holy shit balls: The sound and reaction make this a fringe KO of the year contender in my mind, though it wasn't a one punch deal. Just going off that round, Kunchenko doesn't have much in the way of defense and his takedown attempts were not good but THE POWER.

I could see him as Ted Kord? Seems like a big gap.

I also like this shirt. Shame we didn't get more of Kevin Owens as the WWE United States Champion. The entrance graphics a particular highlight:

Facial fuzz fight!

More from the above event:

Who's the Astros PA guy? I dug him in the pre-game ceremonies... very folksy and Texan.

The Misfits cover band I'm in, Teenage Martians, just celebrated our decade of performance tonight and it went off like gangbusters. With only four practices total, some missing members, some being cut short (like one where I was sick and ended up yacking in a trash can after five songs), we hit a fucking strike. In that spirit, I hope you all have a happy Halloween. Much love.

Well it does have to live up to it's reputation as the Rolls Royce of restaurants, so I guess not.

There's a story in Bret's book about a match he had on SNME with Savage, where Vince instructed Bret to work Savage's leg the entire match. I bring it up because the Savage-Michaels match reminds me a lot of that match, and I wonder if Shawn (a newly-minted heel at that point) was given the same assignment. (The match was also coming right off of Savage nearly getting his knee blown out winning the World title from Flair at WM8, so perhaps he was selling the match.)

Astros up 2 to 1. Swag for days.

I raise:

Shame this will never make it on tv.

If Calais and Malik can whip Dareus into shape, Luck may want to opt for retirement before his body gets disintegrated in December.

This doesn't mean you're off the hook, Dodgers fans!

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Doug Gottlieb would AGAIN stick his dumb fucking racist foot right back in his dumb fucking racist mouth. What a fucking moron.

That cat had more yardage than Ajayi.

So glad you used the giant old man text. It goes along nicely with your terrible Dad joke.

Vince will only pay for Sunny's rehab if she'll fart on camera for him. Farts = funny to Vince.

Picross S and Mario + Rabbids Battle Kingdom are two of my favorite games this year. I'd suggest those.

Holy God Ted Danson is so fucking great

If the Marlins trade Stanton then they shouldn't exist as an organization. You can argue that they still shouldn't exist.

Bianca doing a loaded pony tail gimmick would be AMAZING

I don't hate Cody's ROH reign as much as others do but I really want to see Dalton Castle get a run as ROH World Champion. Dalton is over and a true ROH homegrown act, I don't wanna get snotty but Bullet Club will eventually run it's course and ROH will find themselves without anyone with drawing power if they don't start elevating those who aren't BC or wrestling for New Japan. If Dalton had a longish run that would be great but I'd even take a two month run from Final Battle to the Anniversary Show. As long as at the TV Tapings in between Dalton defends the Championship against Silas Young and Colt Cabana playing off old feuds between the two. Pull the trigger see what happens, you can always put the strap back on Cody at the Anniversary Show, if it's a total flop but I don't think it will be. This is all based on what I saw during Omega-Okada 2 and the G-1 Special and I have no idea what is going on between Cody and Omega in New Japan right now. But if they are still teasing Cody vs Omega and with Naito challenging Okada for the World Title, I'd run Omega vs Cody for the US title at WrestleKingdom. I'd have Cody go over. I think it'd make more sense Cody could defend the Championship more stateside in ROH. It opens Omega up to Challenge for Tanahashi's IC Championship possibly at SuperCard of Honor. Cody as IWGP US Champion keeps him with something to do in ROH while also letting Dalton run as ROH World Champion. Although one could argue that Cody as US Champion might overshadow Dalton as ROH World Champion. There's alot of ways to go for SuperCard of Honor. I think the best way to go and probably the best draw is having Austin Aries show at the Florida TV tapings, start having Aries start ascending the ranks and then at SuperCard of Honor Aries challenges Dalton for the World Title. So at Supercard of Honor you run Dalton vs Aries for the ROH World Title as the Main Event with Dalton going over and in the Semi Main you Omega vs Tanahashi for the IWGP IC Championship with Omega going over. And You have Cody defend the US Championship up the card as well. I think that draws prett well. Another way to go, which I wouldn't, is have Dalton vs Omega at Supercard with Omega going over and being ROH World Champion playing the Lesnar role only showing up for the PPVs and Supercards defending the championship for the remainder of the year as ROH builds a star to take the belt of Omega t the following years Supercard of Honor to finally dethrone Omega. And with Cody as IWGP US Champion Cody can main event PPV's and other shows defending his championship on the shows Omega isn't on making it the de facto main championship of ROH.

Every time a villain is defeated, another pops up in its place. And so it'll likely go for years and years until this series limps its way to an overdue finale. Lather, rinse, repeat. I hope I can kick the bad habit of watching this show before then. What an incredible waste of ammo in this episode. Remember when it was a big deal that Eugene could make bullets because ammo was scarce? Now they've got so much, they can afford to blow a bunch of it on shooting out windows. It was colossally dumb of Simon and Negan to believe Gregory had that much sway over the Hilltop people and to rely on him as the ace up their sleeve. The Hilltoppers obviously bought into Rick's bullshit if they were willing to bring the fight to the Saviors. Any idiot can see that Gregory is not the sort of leader people would believe in. Weird Al's Another One Rides the Bus was certainly an odd choice for the flash forward music. With them also having a They Might Be Giants montage last season, it's like this show's music is being chosen by an eight-year-old me.

I can't believe I'm saying this: Go Ohio State.

You talked yourself outta the job.

He put on a ton of weight when his brother locked him up and started feeding him people.

Double post so...uh...shucky ducky quack quack?

Like Konnan would ever remotely be that tall.

Must fight urge to slap the Brazzers logo on that picture.

YEAH! I'm glad somebody else caught that. EDIT: Except I was talking about the scene in Shin Godzilla not '85 Also, this thread is bereft without this ...and there's one more thing I wanted to ask. Why is it in Shin Godzilla that some of the military guys are wearing a black and white patch of the Imperial Japanese flag? Isn't that kind of like German officers being allowed to wear a Totenkopf? I know Japan has refused to admit to or apologize for a myriad of war crimes but still... damn.
